mthomasdev,
Sorry, I just scrolled up and saw your price list, that's where I got confused.
Anyway, after looking at those prices, I would say that the dealer you are selling to is making about $0.35 per pound off of your #1 Copper. However, he is probably putting together 40,000 lbs at a time and commands the volume to get the price. He also has equipment, labor costs, fuel costs, freight cost, etc. needed to keep his doors open. I think that is a fairly decent price on #1 for a small dealer. If you were shipping him mixed 40,000 pound lots of materials (that is all kinds of non-ferrous on one trailer) I would expect you to get somewhere around $2.95 for your #1 CU. He is treating you the same on the rest of your metals. I think you are getting a fair deal if you are a small dealer (one man operation with a truck & trailer who comes regularly.)
It absolutely all depends on the volume though. This is a volume game. Increase your volume and doors will open.
